Carla was the most positive person I ever knew. She was a giver not a taker. She always looked on the bright side of things and put others before herself. She appreciated all that this life had to offer! She also took very good care of her father and made sure he was happy and comfortable.

I also worked with Carla at Coldwater Creek. She was an exceptional woman. Being a cancer survivor myself, we shared experiences and stories. I am so saddened by her passing. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers Carla, whenever I think of my days at Coldwater Creek, I will think of you.

I worked with Carla at Coldwater Creek. We were the only Jewish associates. We taught the others about our faith and some learned from it. Carla made coming to work a fun event. She shared so many good traits. We all loved her and will greatly miss her.

Carla made a big impact on me personally and on Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance (MOCA) organizationally. She will be missed and we will continue the fight against ovarian cancer in her memory.

Greg, Andy, Elissa -
My deepest condolences for the loss of a devoted and loving wife an mother. She touched the lives of many people; while calling some of them with this tragic news, they shared their memories and experiences with her, and it's clear just how much of an impact Carla had on their lives. I learned so much from her, and grew from her strength and wisdom. She definitely left the world a better place for her being part of it.

Carla was the catalyst which fired many good times between us. I have so many memories of both her and you because of her. I'm so much richer because of them, and I'll always be filled with warmth and happiness from the memories of Carla. She was an especially wonderful gift to the world she lived in, and she'll always be alive in my thoughts.

Carla certainly left this world a better place, and me a better person, for having known her. Her gentle strength has been an inspiration to my daughters and me. Blessings and condolances to Greg, Andy & Elissa & family.
